Why do the cost of plane tickets dramatically increase a couple days before the flight?

I was thinking about going to Atlanta this Saturday for a wedding, but didnt know if I could get the weekend off until today. Plane tickets which cost $171 bucks last week are now $340 bucks. Why?

Airline fares are structured to capitalize off of the business traveler (whose company will pay just about any fare because the trip has to be made when it has to be made) and the last minute traveler such as yourself. Last minute travelers and procrastination purchasers are what drive this industry. The airlines know that a high percentage of sentimental or "just gotta get-away" flyers will not miss that wedding, that christening, that weekend rendezvous, etc and therefore, just like the high hotel room rates on the weekend ... they provide supply and YOU demand.

Well now a days the senireo has changed in Air travel... if the flight is empty you get cheaper fares... so its not necessary that you need to be closer to date... try alternate airlines.... visit cheapfares.com find out who gives cheapest and then go to the airline site for further discount...

The airlines have a certain amount of seating they reserve for the "cheaper" fares/specials, usually not very many unfortunately, and those usually go quick.

Supply and demand. If a person needs to fly within a few days, then it becomes an urgent matter to that person so the airlines know that they can charge more for the seat. I try to book at least two weeks in advance so I can get the lowest price. Flying the same or next day is the most expensive.

You're screwed and they know it.

Simple: Supply and Demand.

Because the airlines know they've got you in a bind, so they charge you more. It's actually pretty unconscionable. I think all seats in the same class/section of the plane should be the same price regardless of when they were purchased.


catintrepid
Right, supply and demand. Only a limited number of tix are left, so they can sell them to whoever is willing to come up with whatever price they ask, even if it's sort of outrageous.
